cats, but love to be where you are. They interact with their owners and
often enjoy the company of another cat. Abyssinians are often thought of

It is often said that Abys have a great love of water. They seem to enjoy
playing in a dripping faucet, as well as drinking from them. Loyal is often
used to describe the Abyssinian and they make wonderful companions.
